Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
On my current list of favorite things: peaches, corn and grilled chicken. Typically, I wouldn’t have that all together but, with this curried peach corn salsa, I just had to grill up some chicken to put it on top of! The salsa is amazing with chips of course but I love it as a topping to grilled chicken, pork or even fish.

Mathlete loves Hawaiian pizza. There is something about the combination of pineapple and ham that he can’t resist. Since it is summer, we end up a lot of picnics and BBQs and not very many pizza parties. So, I decided to turn his favorite pizza into a pasta salad. This Hawaiian pizza pasta salad is always a favorite at our house and is sure to be one in yours too.

I am so excited to partner with Litehouse Dressings to share this perfect pasta salad for summer. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
This past weekend was the official kick off to summer for us. No more school until late August. That means tons of visits to the neighborhood pool, lots of picnics and, of course, plenty of BBQs too. Of course, on thing all of those have in common is the need for delicious food that is easy to make and super easy to transport. Right now, our top choice is this easy California cobb pasta salad.

The absolute best part of spring and summer are all the fresh fruits and vegetables available. Fresh, in-season produce makes all the different in recipes and so I try to use it as much as possible in my cooking. We are having weather that is cool one day and warm the next so I am loving the combination of arugula salad and sweet corn chowder to help me stay warm on the cool days but also enjoy in-season vegetables too.

Now that spring is officially here, we are all about delicious spring vegetables like artichokes and asparagus. While Mathlete isn’t as big of a fan, I can’t get enough asparagus! I just love it. To make him a little happier about eating it so often, I make him prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

I am excited to partner with ALDI to bring your one of our family’s favorite holiday recipes. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
For the past several years, we have had German au pairs help us with childcare in our home. Each one of them has talked about ALDI and how wonderful it is. However, it wasn’t until just recently that I visited the ALDI near our home to check it out for myself. I went planning to just check it out but left with all of the ingredients for my family’s recipe for the best green bean casserole!

With all of the heavy dishes that come with the holidays, I always look to include a delicious salad to lighten things up. This year, I am skipping my traditional lettuce salad and going with a kale pomegranate salad instead.

Let’s talk Brussels sprouts. I absolutely hated them until about a year and half ago. I think a lot of people have a similar reaction to them because they’ve probably never had them prepared well. I can attest that preparation makes all the difference. Last year, for Thanksgiving and Christmas, we had maple bacon Brussels sprouts. I am pretty sure that will be requested again this year but I need a vegetarian option for the veggie lovers at our table. So, I will be offering roasted Brussels sprouts with butternut squash this year.

This year, we are hosting Thanksgiving for our whole immediate family. That means my home will be packed with the joy of 19 people, including kids. While I am super excited to spend the holiday with close family, it also totally makes me dream of updating my kitchen to make it look better and function better. Making loaded mashed parsnips in the midst of other Thanksgiving preparations would be so much easier if I could redesign my kitchen.

Can you believe it is time to start thinking of Thanksgiving? We are hosting a larger group than usual at our house and it includes two vegetarians. That means I will definitely be upping the amount of vegetable options on our table. We’ll still have the standard options like sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes, but I will also add in some more unique items like sumac roasted carrots with walnuts.
